I need to pull 4 ft of chain, and I'm only going to buy a Husky. Looking at the manufacturer's website, they say not to put more than 3 ft on a 394xp. I know how business works, and I know it would be in their best interest to lower those length numbers, so that they get us to buy the bigger saws. They may not be modifying the complete truth though. What can you tell me about this?
You must be milling with it, unless you're felling giant redwoods!
Seriously though, min. bar length for the 95 is 24", it's what I use.
The 95 is my primary saw, haven't started my 50 in 2 years...why bother!
I knock the rakers way down and work the saw hard with 50:1 synthetic.
BTW, you wont need to do the weights anymore if you're gonna use a big saw often.
Oh yeah, one more thing....you'll have a laugh or 3 when you get your buddies to TRY and start these saws without the decompressor!
Good luck with your choice.
Cheers.
